Despite widespread rebuke, Trump doubled down on his NATO-critical rhetoric in an interview with two European newspapers this January.

“I took such heat, when I said NATO was obsolete. It’s obsolete because it wasn’t taking care of terror,” he told the Times of London and Bild, a German tabloid. “I took a lot of heat for two days, and then they started saying Trump is right.”

“I said it was obsolete; it’s no longer obsolete,” Trump said, standing alongside NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. “It’s my hope that NATO will take on an increased role in supporting our Iraqi partners in their battle against ISIS.”

China

Trump told the Wall Street Journal during a sweeping interview Wednesday that China is not a country of “currency manipulators.”

As the Republican Party's presidential nominee, Trump said the literal opposite — and promised that he would declare the Asian country a “currency manipulator” the very same day he took office.

“She’s keeping (rates) artificially low to get Obama retired,” he told a campaign crowd in September. “Watch what is going to happen afterwards. It is a very serious problem. And to a certain extent, I think she should be ashamed of herself.”

Fast-forward to this Wednesday.

“I like her, I respect her,” Trump told The Journal, adding that he had met with Yellen at the White House recently.

The President wouldn’t give a clear answer on whether he will keep Yellen on when her term is up next year, but suggested that he’s considering it.

Export-Import Bank

As a candidate, Trump had some very harsh words for the export-facilitating Export-Import Bank of the United States, known as EXIM.

“I don’t like it because I don’t think it’s necessary,” he told Bloomberg last August. “I think it’s a lot of excess baggage. I think it’s unnecessary. And when you think about free enterprise it’s really not free enterprise. I’d be against it.”

On Wednesday, Trump called EXIM “a very good thing.”

“Instinctively, you would say, ‘Isn’t that a ridiculous thing?’ but actually, it’s a very good thing,” he said of the official export credit agency of the nation. “And it actually makes money, it could make a lot of money.”

Other flip-flops

Trump made another shocking reversal last week when he surprisingly decided to launch a retaliatory missile strike against the Syrian government — just a few days after his UN ambassador had proclaimed that overthrowing Syrian President Bashar Assad was no longer a U.S. priority.

Trump said images from an Assad regime gas attack that killed dozens of civilians in the war-torn country made him change his mind. While he was quick to bomb the country, Trump has however not softened his opinion on banning Syrian refugees from the U.S.

Just a few weeks after announcing his presidential bid, Trump pledged that he would “not be a President who took vacation.”

“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,” he said at the time.

Those remarks ring glaringly false once contrasted against the reality that Trump has spent a total of 22 days at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Florida since taking office 84 days ago. During those mini-vacations, Trump has on several occasions been spotted playing golf.
